“…Thus, it appears tendencies to use social media could be positively correlated with elevated levels of FoMO, substantiating earlier research (see Cheever et al, 2014;Fox & Moreland, 2015). Moreover, future research could investigate which social media formats are incorporated within these second-screen experiences.…”

“…Finally, the majority of investigations into FoMO have focused on how it relates to social media use (Cheever et al, 2014). The rise of Social TV (Giglietto & Selva, 2014) has led to the need for the investigation of the relationships between FoMO, TV watching behaviors, and social media.…”

“…One recent study (Cheever et al, 2014) examined the negative effects of wireless mobile devices on college students, identifying the anxiety participants experienced when they did not have access to their wireless mobile device as a component of FoMO. Additionally, Fox and Moreland (2015) found that, despite the negative psychological and relational experiences often felt by using the social network site Facebook, participants often felt pressured to continue using Facebook because of FoMO; availability and accessibility of the social mediated technology motivates users to check the social network site regularly to combat such feelings.…”

“…This term is typically tied to technology and related to technology-based behavior (Bright, Kleiser & Grau, 2015), as people feel compelled to constantly check Internetenabled devices to ensure that the experience they are having is not inferior to the one they could be having at some other place and point in time. Lack of access to social media information leads to FoMO (Fox & Moreland, 2015), where people are increasingly second-guessing the choices they make on how to spend their time (Cheever, Rosen, Carrier & Chavez, 2014).…”

The current study employed a national sample in order to investigate the phenomenon of fear-of-missing-out (FoMO), the apprehension associated with the fear that other people are having a pleasurable experience that one is not a part of. The current study investigated the role that FoMO plays in TV viewing habits, particularly binge-watching and the consumption of one-time megaevents. Results indicated that FoMO predicts the pace at which people choose to watch TV, social media use as it relates to TV, and whether they are likely to watch some one-time TV programs-such as sporting events like the Super Bowl.

“…In another study conducted with the participation of 163 university students, the mobile phones of nearly half the participants were taken away, whilst the remainder was asked to turn off their mobile phones and put them away. An anxiety scale, which was applied during time without phones, showed that anxiety levels of participants increased as time passed (Cheever et al, 2014). In a study conducted on university students in France, it was reported that nearly one-third of students suffer from nomophobia (Tavolacci et al, 2015).…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between nomophobia levels of high school students and their Internet Addiction. This study also investigates the factors including duration of smartphone and mobile Internet use that trigger and create this phenomenon. In order to explore the prevalence of nomophobia among high school students, the survey model was adopted in this study. As part of this survey, 929 high school students were randomly selected among 9th to 12th graders from Turkish high schools in different socioeconomic areas of Afyon, Ankara, and Mardin provinces. In the data collection process, a demographics questionnaire was employed, as well as a nomophobia scale and Internet addiction scale. According to the results, the nomophobia levels of high school students were found to be slightly above average. Pertaining to gender differences, female students have a higher tendency to exhibit nomophobic behaviors compared to male students. Additionally, students' grade levels (which could also be considered as age) has no effect on the prevalence of nomophobia. Considering the duration of smartphone ownership, it was found that the longer the duration of smartphone usage, the higher the risk of exhibiting nomophobic behaviors. Finally, the results indicated that the higher the level of student Internet addiction, the more nomophobic behaviors they tend to exhibit.
